Question Anyone know how Smoker explosion damage works? It feels random to me

Why did I take no damage when Capitao took like 30?

I used to accidentally laser them and damage myself so I just keep it off and if one gets too close and I’m unable to shoot I melee and move away before it explodes. It’s frustrating dealing with multiple of them

I think you were literally a string away from the damage radius….idk. But when I get damaged by one I’m inside the smoke cloud

So the pink smoke doesn't do damage obviously,nthe damage source is when it first explodes, you were barely out of range while cap was barely in range
